If you haven't used it before, IFTTT allows you to link different online tools to execute more complex tasks. Each set of actions is called a "recipe."
For example, if a user posts on my hashtag on Instagram, then email me a link to the post. If rain is predicted tomorrow, then trigger an iPhone notification. If I need to get out of a meeting, call my phone. (For real!) They have a whole section of recipes to streamline social media that every social media pro should be aware of. Try it out -- the more you use it, the more uses you'll find for it.
The Solution
Back to my problem. Through IFTTT, I created two recipes: one that dumps out a list of accounts that mention my brand's Twitter account to a Google Drive spreadsheet (Recipe 293233), and another that dumps a list of usernames whose tweets I've faved (Recipe 293235).
Since my brand is mentioned a lot, I created the second one as a more manual workaround in case I wanted to identify a select group of people. (I manually faved tweets thanking us for following them.) Then I let the recipes run until I had a solid list of usernames.
Once you have your list of accounts, the rest is easy. Go to the Follow Tools dropdown in Tweepi and click on By copy/paste. Then simply copy your list of usernames from Drive and paste them into the field. Hit Submit and then safelist your best fans, using any additional filters you need (who's following you back, location, etc.).
Less manual solution (all mentions):
More manual solution (faved tweets only):
Which recipe you use depends on what your ideal follow ratio is, and your bandwidth for manually faving certain users' tweets. I ended up using the latter.
I found my Tweepi/IFTTT hack to be a very useful tool to scale up a Twitter following while nurturing true fans. I hope you do as well!]]>http://blog.tweepi.com/2015/05/use-this-twitter-hack-to-find-and-keep-your-true-fans/feed/0http://blog.tweepi.com/2015/05/use-this-twitter-hack-to-find-and-keep-your-true-fans/Introducing the New Tweepi beta.

On larger screen resolutions (tablets or above), the column headers and pagination toolbar will be always displayed. That's a long requested feature by many of our awesome users. No more scrolling up and down to sort or navigate.

New powerful filters

You can now build more complex criteria for any Tweepi manage or follow tool:

You can define ranges by defining two filters, one greater than and one less than.

You can filter by "empty", "not empty" or "not contain".

Dates are relative. No need to calculate specific dates. Just enter how many days ago.

Accurate 24 hour follow counter

Moved to the navigation bar. You can now keep an eye on the number of follows and unfollows performed since 24 hours.

Responsive and mobile-friendly

Redesigned to work on mobile devices and tablets.

Bookmarkable URLs

All pages are now bookmarkable, along with how many users per page displayed and filters selected. Try this link to follow journalists @cnn follows who have tweeted in the past 2 weeks.
Please use the 'Feedback' button to the right of the new Tweepi to share your thoughts with us, or report any odd behaviour. Many of you already have our email addresses, so feel free to email us directly.

As a result we are retiring 'Quick Actions' and making the best out of this situation by introducing the 'Default Button' toggle that emphasizes the main action you'd like to perform. Please feel free to contact us for help using the latest version of Tweepi.
Due to the latest Twitter updates to their "Automation Rules and Best Practices", we are forced to disable multiple selections. As a result, you'll notice that the checkboxes have been removed and you can now just select one user at a time.
To keep Tweepi the fastest way to manage your Twitter account, we are introducing Quick Actions. Once the toggle button is clicked, you may click anywhere on a row to Follow/Unfollow or Force Unfollow a user.

Use your keyboard...

The great news is that by being cornered into this change, Tweepi got even better! Try this:

Enable a Quick Action

Click a row (that'll activate the Quick Action selected)

Then start navigating with the "Up" and "Down" keyboard arrows. Hitting the "Spacebar" will select this row and activate the action.

We are confident that this change will enhance your Tweepi experience, and make it faster to make follow/unfollow choices through our interface.
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback about Tweepi's Quick Actions.]]>http://blog.tweepi.com/2013/09/stricter-twitter-rules-introducing-tweepis-new-quick-actions/feed/4http://blog.tweepi.com/2013/09/stricter-twitter-rules-introducing-tweepis-new-quick-actions/New Follow by Bio Search.

A new improvement of the Twitter API adds the user search feature. Tweepi Premium Platinum users can now search for public Twitter users by bio, topic of interest, full name, company name, location, or other similar criteria.

"Load stats" button and columns deactivated

With the new rate limiting introduced with Twitter's API 1.1, we can no longer offer the stats feature. This feature and the stats columns have been deactivated. The button is now "Load Klout" to load Klout scores for the visible users.

More tweets loaded per tweet search page

The Follow by tweet search tool now loads 75 tweets per page instead of just 50. That should help our users select new users to follow faster.
We're working on more exciting features... to be introduced soon!]]>http://blog.tweepi.com/2013/03/new-follow-by-bio-search-retired-load-stats/feed/1http://blog.tweepi.com/2013/03/new-follow-by-bio-search-retired-load-stats/Tweepi’s New “Force User to Unfollow You” Featurehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tweepi/~3/mc9tnXXIxYA/

Why do I need it?

This feature was requested on several occasions by users who have undesirable people following them with bad profile images or just all with the default "egg" photos, and they wish to force these users to unfollow them to maintain their brand's image at a certain standard.

How do I access the "Force Unfollow" tools?

Tweepi Premium Silver and Platinum users can access these tools from their dashboards.
You can simply see a list of all the users following you:
or use the more specific tools under the "Force Unfollow Tools" section:

When you select users and click follow/unfollow, you will see that the status next to those users will change to "Queued for un/following". This indicates that our servers will process it regardless on which page you are, within a minute or two. This feature was added so that you can select a large number of users for following, from each page, navigate back and forth to different pages without waiting at all. All following/unfollowing will be done in the background.

How do I know the status of those actions?

You will get a blue bubble at the bottom-right corner of your browser once each action goes through. The "Last action" in yellow will also be updated.
Try it out. It's available for both Tweepi Free (for the moment) and Tweepi Premium accounts.
